    The "Worms" games have always been fun artillery
    games with a quirky sense of humor and a willingness
    to experiment2HXLB with the genre. "Worms Rumble" is,
    perhaps, the most extreme example of that, changing
    the game into something more akin to a traditional
    side-view shooter rather than the ballistic-
    trajectory gameplay the franchise is better known
    for. Is it good? Ehn. It's not9NH07 great (the lack of
    single-player and mostly empty servers don't help)
    but if you're in the mood for a PVP shooter it
    can be fun. And points to the team for trying
    something new ratherTZYNV than always doing the
    safe thing.

    I liked Worms Armageddon well enough but this one I have no interest
    in. I'll pass.

    Ya, lost me at the "multiplayer only" part.

    Loved the 2D Worms esp. during LAN parties back then. Meh to this multiplayer only. Also, mixxed reviews.
